W5A580 auto tranny
http://www.wkjeeps.com/wk_transm.htm
Looked at this page a bit. I'm wondering if anyone has used this tranny in a HEMI swap. I think the ratio looks a little better. The ratio is a little lower than the 545RFE, but not too much.
I never realized that the 545RFE was a double overdrive. I always thought that most 5spd autos had 1 OD and the 6spd overdrives had 2 OD's.
Thoughts?
Also, would a 5.7 w/ W5A580 be good for a HEMI swap in the JK?
